Informationsweitergabebewertend

Informationsweitergabebewertend is a coined German term used in discussions of data governance and information ethics to describe an evaluative stance or process that assesses the value, impact, and legality of sharing information. The term combines Informationen (information), Weitergabe (sharing or dissemination), and bewertend (evaluative or value-placing), and is typically used to characterize policies, methods, or practices that systematically judge whether and how information should be transmitted among actors.

Because it is not a standardized concept, Informationsweitergabebewertend generally refers to a framework or approach rather than a fixed procedure. Its aim is to balance benefits such as transparency, collaboration, and operational efficiency with costs and risks like privacy intrusion, misuse, or non-compliance with legal requirements. In practice, a informationsweitergabebewertende framework would consider criteria such as usefulness and necessity of the shared information, purpose limitation, consent and legal basis, data minimization, security measures, retention, accountability, and transparency for stakeholders.

Applications occur across sectors, including corporate data governance, public administration, research data management, and digital platforms. Such evaluative processes support decision-making about when, with whom, and under what conditions information should be shared, and they may be integrated into risk assessments, policy development, and governance audits.

Challenges include measuring the value of information sharing, resolving conflicts between privacy and transparency, and adapting to evolving regulations and technologies. The term remains mainly theoretical and descriptive, used to discuss how organizations could systematize the assessment of information dissemination. Related concepts include information governance, data ethics, and privacy impact assessment.
